Why did the Hidenberg blow up?

Answer 1

The Hindenburg disaster occurred on May 6, 1937, when the German passenger airship caught fire while attempting to land in Lakehurst, New Jersey. The cause of the explosion is widely attributed to a combination of static electricity igniting the hydrogen gas used for buoyancy, although other factors like flammable materials in the airship's skin and weather conditions may have contributed. The disaster led to the end of the airship era and raised serious concerns about the safety of hydrogen-filled airships.
